Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:00

We are going to do the Coin Flip World Cup. Stumpy Goblin, do you have the coin to hand? Are you prepared enough to have actually brought a coin with you? A 50 pence piece with the Queen. Resting 50 pence piece. On it.

SPEAKER_04 0:13

Look at that bad boy. What a gorgeous coin. Shaped like a stop sign, but we are gonna be go, go, go. I'm gonna flip it. Heads is Mexico. Tails of South Africa. It'll always be the top team that gets the heads. And whoopo!

SPEAKER_05 0:26

Heads! Mexico wins. Mexico win. Next up. And you can choose to do an accent for one of these teams. It's Korea Republic or Chechia. Hmm. I don't know how the Czech sounds, so I'm gonna do Korean. I really thought you'd go to Czechia, but fair enough. And then cut there.

SPEAKER_07 0:46

Oh my god, you can't do that. You cannot do that.

SPEAKER_04 0:49

Uh okay, so Korea Republic versus Czechia.

SPEAKER_07 0:53

Which, by the way, good rebrand. Czechia. From Czech Republic or from Czechoslovakia to Czech and then also Slovakia to then Czech Republic to Czechia. Great rebrand. I like that.

SPEAKER_05 1:04

When I used to play like FIFA 2005 or whatever, uh, and I couldn't read it very well. I used to think it was CG Republic. That's how I'd say it in my head. CG Republicans. Like CG Republic. Career or Czechia. Oh, it landed on my lap, but we count it. The Queen's head is in my lap. It is heads. Okay. Career take it. We can also do draws in this. Yeah, how what would be a draw then? Because we're gonna have a draw-free um sort of run of it. It's just the most exciting World Cup ever. And there aren't any draws. Draws are cool. Ties. Ties are cool. Ties in this in this uh American World Cup of itself. What's the next one? Okay, match three, another American team, Canadia, versus Bosnia and Herzegovania. I think that these are the only matches, by the way, being held in Mexico and Canada.

SPEAKER_04 1:53

I think every other match is held in the USA. I think it's something silly like ones.

SPEAKER_07 1:58

I think it's honestly like there's one stadium in Mexico hosting games, there's one stadium in Canada hosting games, and then I think there's like 30 in the US that are hosting games.

SPEAKER_05 2:07

Yeah, uh no, there's at least two in Canada, but they're both Canada's teams playing in Canada. So Canada against Qatar, match 27. We'll get there, don't worry. Uh that's in Vancouver. That's quite a while ago.

SPEAKER_08 2:17

Mexico versus uh Korea Republic uh is also in Oh no, it's in Estadio Akron instead of a Stadio Azteca.

SPEAKER_07 2:24

That's fun. But then look, the bottom one, then the next one's Mexico after that, is then back in Azteca.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

There really are very, very few that are being held in Mexico and Canada. It's quite funny. Okay, Canada versus Bosnia and Herzegovina. I've been near Bosnia and Herzegovina, um, I flew over it, and then I'm holding this, and then my phone, you know what it says like you've landed in wherever. Because I was going to Croatia.

SPEAKER_07 2:46

It said, uh it said, you've landed in Croatia, blah, blah. You can use your normal minutes here and stuff. And then I then also got a text because I was near the border, and it said, you have landed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

SPEAKER_05 2:56

Text will be eight pounds. And I was like, James, mess up Christ. It's it was insanely expensive. Like, calls are 80p per second. I'm like, good God, I don't want that. I don't need to communicate, it's fine. I just want to Bosnia about. I don't need to talk to anyone. Uh did they win? Big Balls! That is the first upset of the 2026 World Cup. Big Boz have absolutely slammed their way past Canada with a weighted advantage as well. That's right.

SPEAKER_08 3:28

Respect the boss. And their and their phone calls are expensive.

SPEAKER_02 3:31

Big up the boss and the Herzegovinians.

SPEAKER_05 3:34

What's match number four is two teams. There are 22 of them, so it's a bit unfair. Uh, match number four is we go to USA, the USA versus Paragay. So I've sent you a thing. Uh, we should get in the spirit of USA here. There's lots of content on my feed right now of American football chant. There's a big debate going on between American football fandom and soccer fandom and uh and twe quaint European fandom, where we're all packed in a little sardo uh sardines and can chant well and stuff.

SPEAKER_08 4:07

Sardines.

SPEAKER_05 4:08

Sardines.

SPEAKER_04 4:09

So give a little look to the to the TikTok that I've sent you.

SPEAKER_02 4:12

This is probably the best USA chant um that I have heard so far.

SPEAKER_06 4:17

Because we support the US.

SPEAKER_02 4:21

That's a way we're gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_05 4:23

They do like it. Oh, they love it. We love it. It's so high pitched, isn't it? It's so high pitched.

SPEAKER_06 4:31

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Well, you're a thinks we're men.

unknown 4:40

We're mid soccer country. Oh yeah, we're men.

SPEAKER_05 4:45

Oh, is he being self-aware? Yeah. Oh hang on, hang on, wait, we're gonna be a good one. We love it. Sorry.

unknown 4:51

We like it.

SPEAKER_06 4:52

We love it. Yeah, we love it!

SPEAKER_08 5:00

Praise Disney, praise Disney, praise Disney, praise Disney.

SPEAKER_02 5:03

Everybody buy a gold card now. It's so funny.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

We support the home team.

SPEAKER_08 5:10

We all support the home team. Oh, there's more.

SPEAKER_05 5:13

I like the flag waving. That's a classic.

SPEAKER_08 5:15

That was a Senegalese flag, if my eyes don't deceive me. Yeah, Senegal. Look at me go. Don't get blown out against Senegal, please.

SPEAKER_05 5:23

Wait, what was the score now? Should I have a look? Yeah, go on, have a look. What was it? What was it in the end? USA Senegal ended up being a 3-2 to the USA.

SPEAKER_06 5:33

We love it! We love it!

SPEAKER_05 5:35

And Christian Pulisic, he scored! The Great American legend. But will he score, Stumpy, against Paraguay?

SPEAKER_02 5:44

Paraguay. And will they? No! It's not!

SPEAKER_06 5:50

It goes to Paraguay! It goes to Paraguay.

SPEAKER_05 5:54

Oh my goodness. Upsets are plenty in the first set of games. Wow, wait, the USA in tatters right now. They are in absolute shambles, but I'm sure they'll come back with the power of the coin.

SPEAKER_08 6:04

But we move on to Haiti versus Scotland. Haiti? I always got confused. Do you remember the show Heroes? Is it Haiti? Haiti Haiti. Well, I was I mean that sort of leads on to what I was saying. That in the show Heroes, there was one character. He was like a blocker.

SPEAKER_03 6:19

He blocked other people's powers, and he was called the Haitian. And I never knew what that was.

SPEAKER_07 6:24

Oh, just because he's from Haiti, I assume.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:27

Did he look somewhat sumo of himself? Was he a big bloke? Yes. I I believe so. I believe he was big and bald. Yeah. You know? There you go. Yeah, that's very Haitian.

SPEAKER_08 6:36

He was Haitian himself. And self-Haiti. It's bad. Heads for Haiti.

SPEAKER_05 6:41

Heads for Haiti.

SPEAKER_08 6:42

Tails for Scotland.

SPEAKER_04 6:43

Oh, it's Scotland!

SPEAKER_05 6:45

You can't really see it very well. Tails! Tails for El Scotto. Andy Robertson leading the charge. Okay, right. So we've had four groups so far. I don't know why we've had two in group A before anything else. I guess because it's the opening ceremony. Funny.

SPEAKER_08 7:01

And now we have to do a bit of soul searching because we're now on, we're gonna lose track here, match six.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

Soul searching, but they've already beaten Czechia. And match six is. Where are we going? I might have to do a control F.

SPEAKER_07 7:15

No, no, no. No, you expressly said at the start of this it's part of the fun to try and find match six.

SPEAKER_05 7:20

Oh, I found it, it was right there all along. Okay, alright. Who is it? Australia versus Turkia. What do you think of Turkey's rebrand? You liked Checky as earlier. Uh I'm not as into it. I don't know why they've done it. It's got a lot going on. Bit wanky. It is a bit wanky. Checkia, I think, sounds cooler. Turkey locked in. You're an animal, you're a food, you're a country. Double it up. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I think. How would you say it now? Turkey? Turki Turkey. Turkey. Turkey. Like IKEA.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

Bro.

SPEAKER_05 7:51

They want to be the IKEA of countries. Oh.

SPEAKER_07 7:53

Are they going to get flat packed by the Aussies?

SPEAKER_05 7:56

No! They're gonna flat pack the Aussies themselves. Tails for Turkia. Well, and that's the way we like it.

SPEAKER_07 8:04

We like it. We love it.

SPEAKER_05 8:05

We love it! We love it! Honestly, that's gonna get in my head annoying me. The English and the Scots, especially to start doing that ironically. There's been a lot of uh Scottish American banter. I've seen a lot of Scottish Twitter being like, um, all these we Americans, they keep thinking that they're gonna uh put us off, but we're just gonna go there and not tip them. We fucking hate them, sort of thing. I can't wait to go and order a $300 bar tab and not tip. Good, as you should.

SPEAKER_06 8:33

All the Americans. All the Americans are like, what? You can't do that. That's crazy. What you want restaurants to pay their staff? Come on.

SPEAKER_05 8:40

Never. Never, we never want that. Match seven, Gobberts, is Brazil, who are heads versus Morocco. Entails. Good team, Morocco. Yeah, decent team. Who plays in Morocco? Moroccans. I assume so.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

And they win!

SPEAKER_05 8:56

They tail down the Brazilians!

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Dale!

SPEAKER_05 8:59

Interesting. Interesting. Okay, this is getting spicy.

SPEAKER_07 9:03

This is insane.

SPEAKER_05 9:04

Yeah, Morocco and Scotland on top of Group C are having a great time. One more in this top layer, and then we scroll down. I imagine it's in chunks of eight, then. I imagine that's how it's done. Okay. Uh so Quator versus Switzerland. Okay, let's see if Switzerland can do it. Erling Switz. Uh previous host in Qatar as well. Yep, yep, yep. Thoughts in the Qatar World. It was smooth. Went pretty well. Smoother. Some would say smoother. Some would say smoother. Um just very hot. So that's fun. It was hot. Oh my god. This is an outrageous World Cup. This is crazy. Your coin, your coin has got something going on. Honestly, you've rigged it. You've rigged it.

SPEAKER_08 9:50

So so far, little look of the groups. Anything jumping out of you as being surprising up to this point in our in our imaginary world cup?

SPEAKER_07 9:56

Six of the eight underdogs winning. That's not surprising. No, that's quite that's quite a tough one. It's a tough result for USA. Really is a tough result for USA losing my parents.

SPEAKER_08 10:05

But Paraguay aren't a bad team. Paraguay aren't a bad team at all. That's definitely losable for the USA.

SPEAKER_07 10:12

Then I don't know what you can do. I don't know how you come back from that.

SPEAKER_05 10:15

The funny thing is that even after losing to Paraguay, they still believe that they will win. So I think that's not what to say. But we then go to the other groups. How many teams are in this thing? Fucking loads. 48. Is it 48? Believe so, yeah. It's too many. Look at group L! Yeah, no. Group shouldn't go as deep as group L. Take the L. No, we're taking the d. Um who's next? Where are we? Two L's next to each other. Is that a thing? Has anyone ever realised that before? Um yeah, probably. You're saying probably because it sounds so obvious now I've said it, but that might mean that no, all the best things are like the pet rock. Someone was the first to come out of the pet rock, then all went, oh yeah, no, someone's probably come out of it, and then shot their mate down.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

They probably thought. Do you feel shot down because I said that someone's probably thought of putt that as putting two L's together?

SPEAKER_05 11:03

Yeah. I think the fact that you went, yeah. And then you added probably, that's what stinks. Two L's together. I bet it's Grotgun, that's a great point. I'm gonna tell everyone that now. And I own your Google search.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

Uh yes.

SPEAKER_05 11:20

It is a well-known, yeah. Says it's a well-known sign.

SPEAKER_04 11:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 11:23

Oh, here's my fucking lowercase L for you then, mate. Brilliant.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

Uh right, or two lowercase L's if we're pretty. We've got 48 teams to get to stop swearing at me. Cotte de Vieux versus Ecuador.

SPEAKER_04 11:35

Uh so that's uh Ivory Coast.

SPEAKER_05 11:38

Ivory Coast versus a kid from my school died in Ecuador.

unknown 11:42

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

And they win! Ecuador!

SPEAKER_05 11:46

Rest in peace, can't stand on Gil, Goss, someone like that, one of them. Uh Group F, then we go to for match. No, we don't. We Oh, we go back to E, so it's two. Anyhow, whatever.

SPEAKER_08 11:57

Uh Germany versus Curakau, who I believe are the lowest ranked here in the thing. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 12:04

Curacau.

SPEAKER_08 12:05

Found out.

SPEAKER_07 12:06

Is you can probably just cure Google Curacle.

SPEAKER_08 12:09

Uh blue Curakao, yeah. There you go. Yes, it is. 40% between 15 and 40%. This is strong, it's strong.

SPEAKER_03 12:16

Uh right, so this this would be the biggest upset that we've had. We we expect the coin to go with heads here, but we can never assume what the coin's gonna do.

SPEAKER_05 12:23

My weighted coin apparently is going for heads Germany, they wrestle it. They do well, the heads. 1-0. The coin does know. The coin doesn't mess about here, okay?

SPEAKER_08 12:36

We know this. Uh so far, uh, I'd say group E looking fairly regular, fairly normal. Uh quick reminder, by the way, to all of our Spotify listeners, you can watch along. Uh, we have all videos on Spotify for all of our podcasts. And if you're enjoying this, hit like. We'll get to the other stuff later. But just for now, hit like because likes are good and the rhythm likes it. Yeah, just a little little tap, see if anything goes wrong. If it doesn't, just leave it there.

SPEAKER_05 13:00

And also, for any audio listeners, go fuck yourselves. So, Netherlands, Japan. I remember years ago, one of my mates, he uh I don't I have no idea what match it was. It might have been a World Cup, might have been a Euros.

SPEAKER_04 13:10

His first time betting, he put uh it was Japan versus somebody. I'll just say Netherlands for the for the example. Okay he put a bet on uh the Netherlands to win, right?

SPEAKER_07 13:23

Um put the bet on Netherlands go 2-0 up. It pays out because it's bet 365. He then put all that money on Japan to win, right?

SPEAKER_05 13:34

Japan come back and win it 3-2. So he wins one bet on Netherlands winning with the early 2-0 payout, and he then puts all that money back on Japan to win the whole thing, and then puts it and then wins it again. Let's find out what game that was. It was like it was some comeback.

SPEAKER_04 13:54

It might have also been against Japan, but it was a it was a match involving Japan.

SPEAKER_08 13:59

Uh oh, Japan did it against Brazil. Before today, no team has ever trailed by two goals versus Brazil at halftime and still won the game. Japan did it now, eight months ago.

SPEAKER_05 14:08

No, it wasn't eight months ago, no. This was like seven years ago or something. Uh I'll put in seven years ago or something. Something like that. It's pre-COVID. Like that. Brackets pre-COVID. No, no. It did happen though. 2021.

SPEAKER_08 14:26

One of the most thrilling comebacks in World Cup history. Maybe.

SPEAKER_05 14:30

Belgium. Belgium 3 Japan against Japan. There you go. Against Japan, yes.

SPEAKER_07 14:35

Yeah, so he put a bet, I guess he put a bet on Japan to win, won that with the 2-0 coming in with the early payout on bet 365. Shout out. And then put all that money then on Belgium to win, and then they did.

SPEAKER_04 14:45

So he just won it back again.

SPEAKER_08 14:46

Well done, Belgium.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

An insane thing to do. And we all told him you're an idiot.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

And then he won, and he's never bet again. Has he not?

SPEAKER_08 14:53

No, he should have put that on something else. Put that on black.

SPEAKER_05 14:56

Put that on red. Boring. Boring.

SPEAKER_03 14:59

Boring into the story there. Always bet more, kids. Always bet more. But let's see what the coin, speaking of betting, thinks about Netherlands versus Japan.

SPEAKER_08 15:07

Netherlands we favourites here.

SPEAKER_05 15:09

And Netherlands are the winners here with the head. You love to see it. You absolutely love to see it. Okay, which takes us to the. Netherlands are like my second team, I think, in this. Why? Because I have a dear friend of mine, you've met him, Big Kev. Um, he is Dodge.

SPEAKER_04 15:22

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, Frisk Sin is a judge. Um, and uh I would like them to do well. I also really like them internationally as I have fond memories of them around the like uh historical World Cups and Euros with cool goals that they have scored.

SPEAKER_03 15:37

So we talked last week uh in the podcast about our favourite RLCS hosting cities, that's the Rocket League Championship series.

SPEAKER_05 15:44

It's like a physics-based game where your car acts almost as the boot. I imagine Messi's boot and you're controlling that completely physic-based brilliant game. Like Car Valley's left toe. That's true, it's true.

SPEAKER_03 15:54

Um, and at one of the events, it was in Rotterdam, and I was like, I don't really remember it, but I had a memory after, and it was during the World Cup where it was the one that Messi won in the end. So Argentina obviously ended up winning, but it was against Argentina, and I don't know if you remember the Netherlands getting a late equaliser when they passed a free kick. Okay. They had a player in the wall, that 92nd minute or whatever, they had to score to equalize. They had a player in the wall, they passed to that you know, their team they passed to him, that player turned and shot, and they got the equaliser. Then they ended up losing in on penalties, I think. But I saw it in a Rotterdam bar, we were up on like a little sort of crow's nest thing, like a little balcony within the building. And there were loads of seats, is that what it's called? There were loads of seats uh arranged for people in front of the screen, and there was one girl supporting Argentina, and she was getting death stares, but she wasn't quite, she was like they're going, Ah, Sebana Vigorabah!

SPEAKER_05 16:45

Good for her, good and she was fucking loving it, loving it. And then someone glassed her, and I thought, yeah. No, no one glassed her. It was all that's nice, it was all fun.

SPEAKER_03 16:54

I uh she was getting some rage.

SPEAKER_05 16:56

Cool. Ultimately, if it's your team, you should be able to support them wherever you are. 100%. I'd say I'd say she got away with it because she was a beautiful Argentinian woman, a lot more than like Bill from Argentina, who's a bloke would have got away with going, oh Argentina!

SPEAKER_04 17:11

I don't know, man. If you're in the Netherlands at the right time, then and you've and you know you're playing them in the World Cup, you've got to be able to support them. You have to.

SPEAKER_07 17:19

Like Kev, Big Kev, he was in an English pub, and when uh Netherlands went ahead against England in the Euros a few years ago, uh, he was cheering very loudly, and everybody gave him shit, and then England end up winning that game, and everyone gave him shit back, and he took it very gracefully.

SPEAKER_05 17:34

It was great. It was like Watkins 92nd.

SPEAKER_07 17:38

Yeah, from the right wing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:41

Um speaking right wing.

SPEAKER_07 17:42

Up the switch. On the switch. Okay, what's the next match?

SPEAKER_05 17:46

Sweden versus uh Tunisia. I've heard Tunisia, but I think that's stupid. I think it's Tunisia. I think it is Tunisia. And it goes to them, the Tuners. The Tuners, the Tuner fish, they get it with the tails. Okay. Uh let's hop along to match 13. We skip group G, fuck group G. Sorry, Group G. Saudi Arabia versus URG. As if they're old debate. And Saudi Arabia win this one yet again. They beat the gays.

SPEAKER_07 18:14

They beat the UR gays. It's the heads for Saudi Arabia, but not man on man.

SPEAKER_05 18:19

Okay, this could be another one of those big upsets. Athaniel, who you were saying are the favourites. Apparently favourites.

SPEAKER_08 18:25

Cape Verde, is that what we'd call it? Cabo Verde, it says here, but I'm sure it's like. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 18:29

Well, I don't know why Spain are favourites. I thought they were really good about eight years ago, eight to twelve years ago. I don't know why they're now like top of rankings.

SPEAKER_08 18:37

I'm surprised they're favourites over France. Yeah, same.

SPEAKER_05 18:40

I thought France would just be like on to win it.

SPEAKER_08 18:43

Well, Spain won the Euros. Lemin Yamal is the big one.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

That's true, actually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

I think he's their I think he's their like their cheat code, really.

SPEAKER_05 18:51

Uh but is he gonna be strong enough for the coin? Spain heads Cape Verde tails. Cape Verde, the Green Coast, take down Espania, 1-0. Wow. What a m what group H is currently Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde, Spain trucking along in third. So they're best of the losers so far. They're still going through. And then Uruguay losing on, I don't know, goals conceded against Saudi Arabia or whatever. Is Uruguay still Luis Suarez? He still plays. I think he plays in America.

SPEAKER_03 19:21

But I don't know if he still plays for Uruguay.

SPEAKER_05 19:23

Ask the coin. Heads or tails. Heads he does. Okay. Okay, it's now Do you want to swap jumps? No, it's now heads, but the Queen's teeth are out. That's crazy. We just got bitten by the coin. Okay, next one. Uh group G is infrared Iran versus New Zealand.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

What does the IR in Iran in IR Iran stand for? Oh, the Islamic Republic? Could be. I'm just gonna go with that. We'll need to Google.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

Versus New Zealand. And the Kiwis win!

SPEAKER_05 19:56

Wow. Sit down, Iran. Sit down, Iran. You can't run no more. Cause you're sitting down.

SPEAKER_06 20:03

We love it!

SPEAKER_05 20:06

Okay, and then it's Belgium. One of the great comebacks in Japanese football history they had earlier, as we established versus Egypt. Belgium with heads, Egypt with Mo Salah and Tails.

SPEAKER_07 20:17

Mohammed Salah doesn't do it.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

Doesn't get beaten by Vincent Company. Is he still playing? Uh yes. No, no, I was thinking Van Dyke, sorry. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_04 20:29

Virgil van Dyke is, you've got dead.

SPEAKER_05 20:32

You've got uh Frimp the Shrimpers that exist. Are we talking about Belgian footballers?

SPEAKER_02 20:37

You got Frimp the Shrimp, you have Gravenberg.

SPEAKER_08 20:39

The hazards are long gone. Yeah. God rest their soul.

SPEAKER_05 20:42

A weird amount of uh Liverpool's team are Dutch. There's like five mainstay Dutch players. It's quite incredible.

SPEAKER_08 20:50

Uh I think like Older Vi Tobio Older Wehreld is Belgian, I think.

SPEAKER_07 20:55

We don't need to Google any of these things either.

SPEAKER_05 20:57

Uh so is that this chunk of games done? Yeah, let's have a little look at the group so far. So who have we got top in E F G and H? Uh Germany. Ecuador. Netherlands.

SPEAKER_07 21:09

What the fuck do the Tunisians sound like?

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Tunisia. I think it's sort of like an off-French. Uh Belgium. Uh New Zealand? Saudi Arabia. Uh Verde. They're like, oh no, there it's a verde. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 21:30

So that takes us to. Oh, it says group of death here. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_04 21:33

Uh we're on groupof death.gg, so I assume that's the big tough one.

SPEAKER_05 21:38

I I I like that, but I hope it doesn't change, you know, like, you know, you've acted group of death mode, all points are wealth double or something. We just want to do it. It's not normal. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_07 21:47

So it's France, Senegal, Norway, and Iraq. And uh myself and my fiance have done a uh a sweepstakes, a £10 each sweepstakes, and her team is Senegal. So Fingers crossed for them that Saudi Amane is gonna is gonna be really outperforming uh what he can normally put on the pitch.

SPEAKER_08 22:06

I hope so.

SPEAKER_05 22:07

Is he still playing?

SPEAKER_07 22:08

Uh yeah, he scored two against the USA.

SPEAKER_05 22:10

Oh, get on.

SPEAKER_02 22:11

Get on the man. He's playing in um he plays for Al Nasir, right?

SPEAKER_05 22:15

Yeah, yeah, he's in um Saudi Area. We saw him and Ronaldo play on the same pitch.

SPEAKER_08 22:20

I think they were against each other.

SPEAKER_05 22:21

No, they were together. Were they together, were they? I remember them being on a pitch together.

SPEAKER_07 22:26

Okay, so France versus Senegal. France, what I would assume were just a favourite.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

Yeah, yeah. Bigger bigger France's favourites against everyone, apart from apparently Spain.

SPEAKER_05 22:33

France in heads. You ready? Who's it gonna be? Don't be a jerk.

SPEAKER_06 22:38

Heads! It's heads. Don't be a jerk.

SPEAKER_05 22:42

What do you mean, the coin is visible? Don't be performative. You've asked me, in the bit that I'm sure you've edited out, to put the coin nice and close. I believe my exact words were closer. And I don't made it closer. Because you were doing it down here. You were like, oh, it's it's heads. Oh, let me just get my reading glasses out. Oh, I think that's heads. I don't need glasses.

SPEAKER_08 23:05

In focus. You go.

SPEAKER_05 23:07

That's how I'd do it, probably. And then it would focus back on me. In hindsight, maybe I should have, because I didn't sort of note like that, and then like that would have been really nice.

SPEAKER_07 23:17

I can do this. I can do this. Just I can do this nice and easily.

SPEAKER_05 23:23

So yeah, I'll just come back to me. And hopefully not on London Major in the background or Yoshi, which is a big fan up. Uh yeah, we can hit it now. Heads. It was heads, it was France, it was La Francais. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

Then it's Iraq versus Norway. Can Iraq win in the US of A? Are they able to play? Tails!

SPEAKER_08 23:43

You're like a Disney beast. That's a Norway win.

SPEAKER_05 23:46

So the group of death is looking the most sort of the most regular out of all of them. France and Norway, Senegal, China.

SPEAKER_04 23:53

Two results in.

SPEAKER_08 23:55

But we head over to Argentina, our current winners, our current holders of the World Cup. But they do not hold the coins within your hands. Uh yeah, this is his last one. I think this is his and Ronaldo's last one.

SPEAKER_05 24:07

Okay, alright, interesting. So Argentina versus Algeria. Battle of the A teams. It is Battle of the A's. And lots of A's in this group.

SPEAKER_08 24:14

SPEAKER_03 25:13

Yeah. England. You're looking forward to seeing anyone play in the World Cup?

SPEAKER_07 25:18

God, yeah. I'm staying up for every match. I'm staying up to 9 p.m. to watch some of these matches.

SPEAKER_03 25:23

Yeah, I don't think any of them are particularly late for England.

SPEAKER_07 25:25

The first ones are all like 9 pm, 10 pm, whatever. Pubs also can stay open later. Yep. Which is cool. And then I'm also going to stay up for any of the matches when we get through to like your 16s, your top eights, your your semi-finals, your quarterfinals, and your finals where we end up winning.

SPEAKER_05 25:40

You're going to be so grumpy at 2 a.m. during the England game.

SPEAKER_07 25:43

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:43

You're going to be awful to be around.

SPEAKER_07 25:46

Thankfully, I'm not going to be around you. And Anna also will go to bed. So I'll just be on my own having a beer.

SPEAKER_05 25:52

Big up the Gans. Right on, Ghana. Ghan stomping all over America. It's the mighty England. It's 4 p.m., it's a latey. And it's England versus Croatia. Are we gonna tell? That's a hard game.

SPEAKER_08 26:17

That's a hard opening game.

SPEAKER_05 26:18

No, I know. Oh.

SPEAKER_08 26:19

Uh I guess GMT. Are we in GMT plus one? Is that for us or are we plus one from that?

SPEAKER_07 26:24

We are GMT plus one. Because we're going in British summer time, yeah. Okay. So England, Croatia. There's history in this matchup where it's a bit of a tough bill to swallow sometimes. Is our first Croatia.

SPEAKER_05 26:36

Yeah, I remember the first time I went to the 2000 Trees festival was 2018, and it was the the deck the morning of having lost to Croatia the night before. Which was which was not enjoyable and not fun. Not fun. Sip your pint of gravy pay yourself. I'm just yeah some England versus Croatia action.

SPEAKER_07 26:54

Real talk, hashtag real talk. England have got to start out this group pretty happy. I think we've got to start off strong here. I think we're gonna get through regardless. We get three through from our group, that's fine, whatever. But we need to be getting through in that first spot, you know, for the seeding.

SPEAKER_04 27:08

For the seeding of it all. I hope so.

SPEAKER_08 27:10

I really hope so, but we can't control the coin.

SPEAKER_04 27:12

The three lions, one star for the World Cup that we won, approaching a hundred years ago.

SPEAKER_03 27:19

It should be three stars for the for the tournaments we deserve, frankly. That's after the last year's in the last World Cup.

SPEAKER_02 27:24

Oh bugger. I dropped it. I'm honouring it.

SPEAKER_05 27:30

I'm honouring heads. Croatia tails. English fans on Twitter. Would you like me to redo? No. No, no. Lift it up carefully. Lift it up like that.

SPEAKER_07 27:42

Look, you can see how I picked it up, right? So you can see that I'm not I'm not fiddling with it. I'm just gonna rotate it slightly.

SPEAKER_05 27:48

I see a head. It's a head! It's a big old Queen's nose. It is a big fat queen's nose. Ingolande taking the dub over Crow Age.

SPEAKER_08 27:59

Oh, feels good now. It feels good to get that first win out of the way. You know? Afs and Ghana looking down upon our group, thinking, you scum, a lot of you. The absolute the state of them, the state of them stumping.

SPEAKER_05 28:11

Fucking state of them.

SPEAKER_08 28:12

Fucking state of them.

SPEAKER_05 28:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 28:14

Is it is the let's do group K and then we'll tell people to sub.

SPEAKER_05 28:17

Okay. Uh so Portugal versus Dr. Congo. One man against all of Portugal.

SPEAKER_04 28:23

I want to think Dr. Congo for any issue I have in my life. Yeah, right. But can Dr. Congo solve his own issues?

SPEAKER_05 28:31

No, Portugal. Ronaldo, he gets the one goal as well, I'm sure. He dances around the doctor, does he? He does. But that's not a bad result for the doctor. No, that's true. It's 11v1 and he loses 1 0. You take that. He played well. He was in goal for most of it, but he did do one attack, and that's what he got counter-attacked from. It's really tough, right?

SPEAKER_04 28:53

It's very tough. Okay, now this is my team in the sweepstakes. Uswegan.

SPEAKER_08 28:58

Okay. Well, before we do that, let's see, let's see their odds of winning.

SPEAKER_05 29:01

Yeah, because there's also some extra um uh information that I think was quite cool.

SPEAKER_07 29:08

Um, that was like uh you can win money based off like not just winning or coming top three or whatever. Right, okay.

SPEAKER_05 29:17

So what what are what are my chances, first of all? Uh I'm looking, I'm scrolling. Dr. Congo is 750 to 1. 2,000 to 1. I might be the best time. Honestly, that's better value than what you've got in this stupid sweep state. That's what it sounds like is the worst way to win money.

SPEAKER_04 29:33

But so you get your classic first place, second place, third place prizes. There's also 30 quid for dirtiest team.

SPEAKER_05 29:40

So Oh, so you want the doctor to really just the users. The users, sorry. One point per yellow, one point per red after a double yellow, and three points per straight red. Right? Wow, and whoever accumulates the most points throughout, then wins 30 quid.

SPEAKER_08 30:00

Longest distance you still need them to get deep in the tournament though, to get more cards though. So it's still tough, even if you do get a couple of reds.

SPEAKER_05 30:07

Uh longest distance goal, 30 quid. So you want to see some rockets from outside the box, which is my goal. Uh fewest goals wins 30 quid. Oh, okay. So that's one for the shitters. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_07 30:21

Uh latest goal, which is 30 quid again, which is normal and added time only. Extra time doesn't count, so it just has to be in regulation.

SPEAKER_05 30:29

So you want an Uzbekistan 97th minute dud goal, garbage time goal, and it's their only goal, rocket from Alpha Bush, and you're in business. Yeah, see the keeper off their lines. And then celebrate with a punch up.

unknown 30:43

Yes!

SPEAKER_05 30:44

That's 30 quid for me, thank you.

SPEAKER_07 30:45

Triple my money. Um, okay, so not not looking good for your boy, but that's fine.

SPEAKER_08 30:51

But better than better than Kira Kau.

SPEAKER_07 30:53

Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_08 30:53

Why are they two Jordans? There's Jordan Sanger.

SPEAKER_07 30:57

I don't know. I don't know who that is. Both got the same odds though.

SPEAKER_05 31:00

The world, what a bird. Oh yeah. Uh Uzbekistan versus Columbia. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:05

Come on, the mighty Uzbeks.

SPEAKER_05 31:09

Respect the Uzbek! Respecistan!

SPEAKER_02 31:13

Come on.

SPEAKER_07 31:14

Get it, if you're celebrating a new episode of OU, like we are celebrating, uh, doing all of these predictions, make sure that you sub. Drop a little comment down below. Who are you spotted in this World Cup and why?

SPEAKER_05 31:26

And do you have like a weird second team that you quite like? Netherlands is my weird second team that I think I'd like to see them do quite well.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

Uh let me have a think of mine. My weird second team. So my weird first team is Ingoland. Uh, I mean, always the underdogs, you know. Cure KL, they're 7,000 to 1 to win it or whatever. If they can get if they can get a game, that's always good fun. Um but I tend to like Japan a lot, actually. Japan's great. I I vaguely remember that Belgium game, and I vaguely remember being very disappointed that they got they got upset. It was like a 93rd minute win or something against them. And I think it knocked them out.

SPEAKER_05 32:00

So I got a soft spot for them.

SPEAKER_08 32:01

Um but yeah, that's no yours. That's no yours. Uh we have just uh simmed match twenty four.

SPEAKER_05 32:09

Yeah. So now we go up to match twenty-five. Is that back to the top? Yes it is with Chequia. Okay. So Checkia yourself before you wreck it yourself against South Africa stumpy. Run through these quick style. Oh, yeah. How long have we been recording for? Uh 35 minutes.

SPEAKER_07 32:27

Okay, yeah, it's been a bit like Checkia versus Brun. Now God to flip the coin and I believe. Oh, shut up and it's Linden's mate. Do you land it on it?

SPEAKER_05 32:40

Because I could do this regular as clockwork. I actually don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_02 32:43

Oh, wait, are you are you are you throwing it and doing that?

SPEAKER_08 32:45

No, I'm flicking it because I'm not a virgin.

SPEAKER_06 32:47

But you're doing it off camera, so I can't see.

SPEAKER_05 32:50

That's a fair point. That's how you say it. Anyways, heads and then probably show it up there. It changes tails, but broadcast on your own. What's the other one? Would you rather do that?

SPEAKER_06 33:03

You're you're starting to get away.

Americans can't understand why we love this sport so much. Mexico versus Korea Republic. Are they not South Korea then? I'm so confused.

SPEAKER_04 33:51

Uh well, aren't they like the uh I was about to say the DPRK, but no, that's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

SPEAKER_07 33:58

But maybe that is Korea.

SPEAKER_08 34:02

Because there's there's not South Korea in here.

SPEAKER_07 34:04

Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah, no. DPRK is the North Korea.

SPEAKER_03 34:09

Hmm. Maybe Korea Republic is the official name for South Korea.

SPEAKER_04 34:12

Uh it looks like it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 34:14

The woke name. Oh, South Korea. Officially the Republic of Korea. Unofficially. Yeah. Oh shit. That makes sense. Everyone, this is episode 33 of officially. Unofficially. The best the best podcast on the year. We've got a jingle. Just fucking run it.

We need tails here. No messing about. No messing about. Put this one close. Let the camera see the reveal here for this one. Let the camera see the reveal fully.

SPEAKER_03 45:22

The full beans. For audio listeners, he's moving his giant hands to the camera. I've got a bit of a cut. So many warts.

SPEAKER_06 45:32

Barts! Rule England!

SPEAKER_03 45:36

Rule England!

SPEAKER_06 45:37

Rule England! Rule England! England! Rules of football. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 45:41

We needed that. That is nervy. That is a nervy qualification. Does the result in Croatia Ghana affect England here? We can only find out at the end. Let's run through and then we'll look at what the groups have given us. Okay, alright. Fair enough. Because they play together at the same time. Alright, that's the rule. So Croatia Ghana. Right. Did you hear it hit the ceiling?

SPEAKER_06 46:02

Just do something normal. I had it taking a little bit more.

SPEAKER_05 46:09

Croatia needs heads. Tails. Ghana need tails. And it's tails for big guns. Okay. I think that's good for us, though, because I think Croatia were hot on our heels. We'll have to find out. We'll have to find out, mate. We'll have to find out because first we got we've got four more games. Algeria versus Austria. It's Austria. Jordan versus Argentina.

SPEAKER_06 46:26

God, Jordan and Triple Jordan are an incredible Rocket League team.

SPEAKER_05 46:32

This is so good. Okay, final two. Colombia, Portugal. Tails. Oh, Portugal. Ronaldo's smashing it. And then Dr. Congo versus the Uzbeks. The people's champions face off against each other. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 46:46

Right.

SPEAKER_05 46:46

The last game. We need closing ceremony.

SPEAKER_07 46:49

Closing ceremony. The last game is Dr. Congo versus Uzbekistan. Fuck me. What is this scheduling? Okay. Alright. And it goes to.

SPEAKER_05 47:00

Ooh, give me the Kong. Give me the Kong in heads. It's definitely Uzbekistan, isn't it? I know from your face you're playing it. You're playing it too well.

SPEAKER_07 47:09

It's Uzbekistan.

SPEAKER_05 47:11

Ah, Dr. Congo's got a go-go. Donkey Kong. Oh man. Okay, so. Run through. Do a little run through of our groups. So uh we won't say all the names, but Mexico win group A, Switzerland win group B, Brazil win group C, and Australia win group D. Yeah, and Korea, Bosnia, Scotland, and Paraguay threw in second. Uh, Ecuador, Tunisia, New Zealand, Cabo Verde. And then in second, it's uh Ivory Coast, Netherlands, Belgium, and Saudi Arabia. And finally, France, the mighty Jordan with a 3-0 group, Portugal, and Ghana in group L. And then through and second is Senegal, Argentina, the Uzbek. So your bet lives on, or your um, what's it called? Yeah. What's it called again? Sweepstake is living on. And then in group L, Ingerland scrape through with six points. You absolutely love to see it. Dr. Congo goes through as well in the third place.

SPEAKER_08 48:13

Well, yeah, so we'll get to that. So it actually gives you the top best four-place teams. So here they are, here they are.

SPEAKER_05 48:18

Basically, there's no goal difference here, so it's all about wins. Yeah, so it's Norway, Spain, Germany, and USA make it through. And then Japan, Infrared, Iran, Austria, and Canada. Wait, so after all that, we've knocked out four fucking teams. And all the last places. Oh, okay. I was gonna like that's a lot of work to get rid of Dr. Congo, Chechia, Panama, and Haiti, which is actually a pretty viable set of teams to be knocked out. Okay, alright. So now, what is our bracket looking like? Oh, I thought you were about to click clear. So then we go knockout stage, do we? I guess so. 73 next. Korea versus Bosnia and Herzegovina, Korea in heads. We'll do a semi-speed mode here.

SPEAKER_07 49:00

Okay. Korea versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.

SPEAKER_05 49:03

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 49:04

It's the Bozers!

SPEAKER_06 49:05

It's the Bozers.

SPEAKER_05 49:06

The Bossers are on their way. Jesus Christ, this is crazy. Yep. Uh match 74 is Ecuador versus a USA.

SPEAKER_08 49:14

USA still in, hanging on by the skin of their Americans. It'll be the skin of their bullets.

SPEAKER_07 49:18

Massive if Ecuador knock them out here as well. As it's played in the Gillette Stadium. This is the best one they could get.

SPEAKER_05 49:25

Boston.

SPEAKER_06 49:27

Ecuador bloody knew it! They knocked them at Ecuador!

SPEAKER_05 49:30

You could say flipping eck, maybe, if you were an Ecuadorian newspaper headline writer. That's good. 75%. In the Coinflip World Cup.

SPEAKER_08 49:38

In the CoinFlip World Cup, where's match 75?

SPEAKER_05 49:42

Uh Tunisia, Scotland, below Bosnia and Herzegovina. Left. Good spot. Yes. Okay. So Tunisia versus Scotland. We won the Scots here, I think. Yeah, the Scott'll be fun. We root for the Scots.

SPEAKER_06 49:54

It's the Scots! Oh my god, this is huge for Scotland.

SPEAKER_05 50:00

And that's a winnable game in the CoinFoot World Cup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. That is winnable. And then instead of completing this part of the bracket, we then jump over again to 76 up here. We'll start this half. So Brazil versus Netherlands. That's a good one. History to this game. Yep. Pele versus fucking Van Dyck. Van Dyke. Yes, there's a good one. That's a good one. There you go. The Brazilians take it. They're Brazilians take it. It's after having less travel, ultimately. You know, don't have to go up the road to America. That's true. That's true. And then we complete then we find out who plays Ecuador. We've done a little jaunt over to Brazil, Netherlands and back to find out who plays. I'm sure there's a reason behind it. I don't know what it is. It's probably travel. It's probably these guys are going this way, so people on that goes. France, Spain, round of 32 is crazy. And that is worth waiting for. Yeah. France versus Baniel. France. Spain our favourites. France our second favourite. Massive upset, regardless here, really, based on the placement.

SPEAKER_08 50:59

Yeah, this could be a final, but it's not. This is the round of 32. Who takes it? France.

SPEAKER_05 51:04

France knock out Spain. Espaniel have fallen. Oh my god. They have fallen. Isko in shambles. If we get a normal winner at the end of the Coinflit World Cup, I will be infuriated. I'd love it. I'd love it. It would vindicate everything we've ever said. So then we find out who faces Brazil. Yeah. With Ivory Coast versus Senechul. Lovely. Coast and heads. Ivory Coast, take it. Côte d'Ivoire. Wow. Wow. Okay. And now they'd get to chill. They're not going to play till match 910. So we find match 79. Mexico and Japan, right in the next. Mexico versus Japan. Yeah. Okay, that's easy enough. Mexico and heads, Japan and tails. Uh I want Japan here. I'd like Mexico. Great food. Lots of lime. And one of the host countries. Even though I said Japan was my second team earlier. Japan, baby.

unknown 51:52

Really?

SPEAKER_05 51:53

Sushi over tacos. Tears. Tears from Gonzalez. Eight is Ghana versus Norway. Ghanaians. They run through into the match versus Japan. That's a big game.

SPEAKER_03 52:07

Over to match 81. We're getting closer to England, but not quite yet. Hold your horses, everybody.

SPEAKER_05 52:11

It's Australia versus Canada first. Battle of the Commonwealth. I wonder how close I am to 50-50 coin flips in this video. Someone figure it out in chat right now in the comments.

SPEAKER_08 52:23

I want someone to track whether we've had heads or tails. That's interesting. It's an interesting football.

SPEAKER_05 52:27

Australia, Canada. Australia, take it! Australia can indeed. New Zealand also could go up against Australia next. That's a big Oh my god, yeah. Battle of the not quite British countries. Oceanic chance. Ah, I dropped it. New Zealand and heads. It is. Germany! Germany go through. Okay. Australia versus Germany over there, which takes us to 83. Oh my god, something you'll split loyalties here.

SPEAKER_08 52:56

Talk us through what you're thinking when you see these two teams up against each other in the Coinflip World Cup.

SPEAKER_07 52:59

Uzbekistan, my real World Cup sweepstake team versus the country that I have represented. Uh I've gone to Wembley. I've stood literally on the pitch at Wembley. I have been in the home and away dressing rooms. I've taken a poo in the England dressing room.

SPEAKER_05 53:16

True story. Learn about that on uh we scored for England episode, I believe. One of them. So six. So Uzbekistan Heads, England tales. I really, really would like England here. Really? Yeah. You wouldn't you wouldn't sell out your coach for 30 quid? I don't think I would.

SPEAKER_05 53:42

Oh my god, this is getting so scary for England. Okay, uh, Cape Verde versus Argentina. Classic. It's a close running. This one if it was. I just felt it land in my hand and it landed basically sideways and then fell over. So it's had a touch of a touch of hand fate as well as fate fate. And the hand fate goes to Argentina. Oh, Cape Verde fall. Cape Verde fall. Cape Verde fall. Okay, so then we go to match 85, which is down here. Right, we should speed up a little bit. Switzerland versus Iran. Switzerland heads.

SPEAKER_04 54:14

Oh shit, I dropped it.

SPEAKER_05 54:16

Uh Iran! Iran, take it with a table. I can, and yet I continue. Jordan versus KS8. Jordan Head, you say? Jordan Head.

I'm gonna go with none. That's fair. But Drogba was good. Does not happen this time around. Brazil, they go through. That makes sense. Hey, that makes sense in the Queen Flip World Cup. Match 92, Japan versus Ghana.

Maybe they should. Iran versus Austria for the for the joy of meeting Paraguay.

SPEAKER_05 58:08

Okay, Iran in in heads. Austria in 10. It's all the heads for the for infrared Iran. Infrared Iran doing a good old run. So we have our quarter finalists. It's Ecuador, Bosnia and Herzegovina, England, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and then Paraguay versus Iran. Only one of these feels normal.

SPEAKER_07 58:29

And it's the one that we're in, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_05 58:31

No, Brazil-Japan could be as well, I'd say. I'd say these these two could be. Japan could do a could do a run if they don't get if they don't get reverse swept by Belgium again. Reverse swept. Before the grand final. Yeah, that's true. I reckon it'll be a 1-0. Okay. Okay, okay. Ecuador via Bosnia and Herzegovina. Any Ecuadorians listen to this right now, you better be praying that heads comes up if Stumpy can be.

England versus Germany, mate. Match 98. Yeah, just wait, just wait, just hold. Just just channel head. Okay? Because England are in heads. Yeah. Germany representing teen tales.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:36

That's the semi-final you want if you're England.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:38

How the fuck have England genuinely coin flipped their way through? This is incredible. Gareth Salgate. It's the Gareth Salgate effect. Even after he's been replaced by Tuchel, it's still his effect. Tommy Tuges. Okay.

I'm actually nervous. I'm actually not going to be able to do this. I'm also nervous. Because it's such a good story. If in our stupid podcast, England win the Coin Flip World Cup. Yes. Based on flipping coins. And I promise you, we are not. This isn't a thing. Promise everything. I swear on my dog's life. I swear on Cole's dog's life. I swear I swear. I swear on Stumpy's life. Yeah, that's fair.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:49

I won't swear on your life because that doesn't mean much.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:52

101. So we need tails here now. Yep. And let us know in the comments if you want England to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-finals of the CoinFootball game.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:03

I'm genuinely nervous, which is so stupid.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:07

It shows how much this means.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:09

So it does mean a lot. We're after a tail.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:10

SPEAKER_05 1:02:49

This cannot happen. We're actually in the blows. People will think this is that this is rigged. You know what? I'm so sorry I was abusing your coin flipping earlier. It's fantastic. You've been nailing this. There is no way.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:02

Right. So people will think this is rigged. So we can't stop those comments from coming in. I don't I don't know what we can say to tell you all this is not rigged. I don't know what we can do. Because England are in the final. If we win, it's so unlikely.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:21

For the for the and I'll I'll reduce cutting as well. For the final. I want you to to take your headphones off, stand up, full body interviews, and give us a and then show up. Oh I dropped it. It's tough. Hard work. Okay. Not for this semi. Not as fucking easy as it looks, is it? Not even 50 or 102 of them. Okay. Coin flip number 102.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:45

Am I at 50-50? This will be fun to look back at. Okay. Japan Paraguay. Japan is head. Japan is heads.

Oh goodness. Okay. And then Tails! It's a Tails. It's a Paraguay England final. But not yet. Yep. But not yet. Because first, Boz, and it's been a great run from the big Bosters. Yeah. Let's see if Boz can claim a bronze medal to take home. They deserve it, I feel. So Boz is in heads. Japan in tails. Revealing. Shit, I dropped it. I'll redo it. That's what we need to make sure it doesn't happen for the England one. Yeah. Flipping. That was fully on camera. I think it's like really awkward finger reveal. Yeah, I know, I know. Heads. Heads. Boz. The Bossers. Salute the Boz. Salute the Boz. Well played, Boz. Yeah, you've absolutely earned that. But oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:36

SPEAKER_04 1:04:41

It's also extremely England for us to get to the final and to then lose.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:46

To Paraguay, to a team where we're thinking, okay, this is the final we would have wanted. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:49

It's been a good run for England, isn't it? We've we face Uzbekistan, your hometown heroes. Argentina we knocked out. Beat Germany, the old enemy.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:59

Germany. And then Bosnia and Herzegovina in the senies. We broke their hearts, but I'm glad that they redeemed themselves for third place. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, everyone, this is, I swear to Christ, not fate. I also want someone to calculate if England win this, I want someone to calculate the odds of England winning this. You're so tall. I am, I'm very good. This is to win. Okay, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine. I'll do some commentary.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:41

England need heads in order to win the World Cup for the second time since 1966. There are already fans on the pitch. They think it's all over. Stumpy has caught the coin. I can confirm. Stumpy has caught the coin. It's a successful catch. It's a clean catch. I'm looking around at the judges. There are no red flags being raised. This is regulation. If this is a head, England win the World Cup of coin flips 2026.
